Which is correct none of us is or none of us are?

None is short for 'not one (person/thing)' or 'no one' or 'not any.'Because 'none' has a 'singular' basic meaning, it is easy to think that it should always be followed by a singular verb, e.g. "None of us is perfect."However, in the English language, for over a thousand years, none has been used with both singular and plural verb forms!In fact, when the meaning is "not any persons or things" (see example above), the plural form is much more usual, i.e."None of us are perfect."But, if the word 'none' is used with specific reference to a singular entity, and clearly means 'not one / not any,' it is followed by a singular verb: e.g."Of all the books in the world, none is more well known than ... ."For more information, see Related links below.


If the subject of a sentence is singular is the verb singular or plural?

Singular subjects use singular verbs. This is known as the subject-verb agreement. The confusing part is that "singular" verbs are the ones that will usually have a S, whereas nouns that have an S are usually plural.Subjects and verbs must "agree" with one another in number (singular or plural). Thus, if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is plural, its verb must also be plural.In the present tense, nouns and verbs form plurals in opposite ways: nouns ADD an s to the singular form; verbs REMOVE the s from the singular form.Examples: The dog chases the car. The dogs chase the car.When dealing with compound subjects, if two or more singular subjects acting as a plural compound subject are joined by the word and then the verb takes the plural form, e.g. The king and Queen are hosting a banquet.If two or more singular subjects acting as a singular compound subject are joined by the words or (or nor) then the verb takes the singular form, e.g. neither the ranger nor the camper sees the bear.
